King of the Dead in Dark Palace

Since his birth, a boy from a noble lineage was afflicted with an unexplainable and distressing ailment. But one day, he unexpectedly awoke without any discomfort, only to discover that his heart had ceased beating. When he met the imposing figure, Holos Carmen, the boy was given a new identity - "End," and bestowed the title of "Fleshman." End realized he had been brought back to life through necromancy, now bound to serve Holos' every command. His mission was to hunt and slay beasts in the forest, gaining strength with each kill until he could transform into a powerful "ghoul." Despite enjoying his newfound existence, End struggled with Holos' control, determined to break free. As it turned out, End had already transformed into a "ghoul" in secret, a fact he kept hidden from Holos.
